Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 한 번 흔들면 35년 묵은 카올일라가 묵직한 해초와 짚단 연기를 천천히 풀어 놓는다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 버번 호그스헤드가 빚어낸 바닐라 크림이 아일라 페놀과 부딪치며 균형을 잡는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 58.4도의 도수가 짠 레몬과 굴 껍데기 미네랄을 데리고 혀를 따라간다. 마지막에는 식어가는 모닥불 향이 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
hate it that I’m finding old chartreuse, an old penny book, a sack of kiwis, a bag of peaches, and just the right amount of French polish. And the freshest fresh shitake mushrooms. With water: ooh plasticine, church candles, barley water, clams and winkles, floated wood…
restaurant Palate
huge. This is of Montrachet quality, big, bold, very assertive, yet complex, yet full… It’s just mesmerising to find these ripe fruits that, I suppose, weren’t there right from the start (peaches again, papayas, pomegranates, prickly pears) topped with old mint cordials and some natural pine tar liqueur, argan oil, fresh almonds (which used to be very CI in the late 1970s and early 1980s). Just mesmerising… With water: floors you. And it is so fresh!
timer Finish
long, lemony, almost young, and rather more compact than before. This could have been the finish of a 15 years old. Some lemongrass
